Chapter 7 · Women's Past Deeds
स्त्रीकर्मकथनम्
॥ पार्वत्युवाच ॥देवदेव महादेव सृष्टिस्थितिलयात्मक ॥स्त्रीणां च कर्म संब्रूहि दयां कृत्वा ममोपरि ॥ १ ॥
Parvati said: O God of gods, O Mahadeva, you who make, keep and end the world. Tell me about the deeds of women. Be kind to me.
Classical view, not medical advice.
॥ ईश्वर उवाच ॥
Ishvara (Shiva) said: Listen, O fair-faced one, to all that women did in a past life. Then I will tell it briefly.
पूर्वजन्मनि या नारी पतिनिन्दां चकार ह ॥
In a past life a woman spoke ill of her husband, O Goddess. For that sin she never has her monthly periods.
यदा रौप्यस्य वै वृक्षं स्वाङ्गुष्ठपरिमाणकम् ॥
Say she gives a silver tree the size of her thumb, O Goddess, weighing five pala (a unit of weight). She gives it to a Veda scholar, dear one.
